RT1B Carb Cross-over

Runningdog · Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:24 am Post subject: RT1B Carb Cross-over

First of all, I recently acquired a '71 RT1, and plan on doing a nut-up resto/refurb on it, within reason. Most missing bits seem to be available on ebay, but not too many carbs.

Does anybody know what carbs from other models/makes will work? The stocker is a VM32SH.

I'll post some before piccies a bit later.

I had a look, but he won't ship out of the US.

Where are you located?
That's not the West Bank in Israel, is it?

If he is from THE west bank, not too many people are willing to ship to Palestine. I would because it is my nature. But according to my palestinian friend, the powers that be consider motorcycle parts not humanitarian aide. But it can be done.

No, no, I'm in Westbank, British Columbia (now officially known as West Kelowna)....one word.

And, here's a photo of the little money pit:

And, of course, other miscellaneous.....look at first photo.

Thought I needed a challenge.......

Well, I finally did what I should have done a while ago....registered with a drop-off depot in Washington State. Sellers listing accepted bid, so we'll see.

Bike may be more than a winter project, but cleaned/painted/maybe running would be a treat, at least.

A bit of sanity came my way...$150, for this '73 RT3. The '71 thus becomes a parts donor for this and a buddy's DT1.

RunningD, cool find! I wasn't sure what it was, so I googled it and watched a couple youtube videos of one running. Love that sound. I really need at least one 2-stroker, but I still have 1-1/2 project bikes to complete first. Your bike has great lines. Have fun with it.
